Glad to see this thread because while we don't have anywhere near that much to spend on ds for Christmas, my 8yr old DS has been saving for one for over a year. He was wanting to get a 3DS, but it would take him probably another 2 years or more for that. Right now he has just enough to cover a DSi in the Black Friday Sales, so I think he's decided he wants me to try to get one for him.
